Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's up? Everybody? Welcome to a brand new episode of
Wrestling with Friends Wrestling with Freddy. This week's episode is
titled why is Jeff So washed Out? Let's start the show.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
And now your main event introducing thosts are Wrestling with Freddy,
Chep Do and Predy Friends.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Tune all right, So question of the week, why are
you so washed out? Bro? Hey?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
You years of COVID and zoom meetings and podcasts. You
think i'd have my lighting together by now, but no,
things are real behind here that die house, and I
don't know how to light a zoom call.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
I just don't know how to do it. It's so
washed out. It looks like your dad's old camcorder and
he was like recording you at a baseball game when
you were like eight yo.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Tato film as we called it. Speaking of dads. I
listened to your dad's record and it was great.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
No way, Oh it's awesome. Man.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
It came in the mail right when I was hanging
out with a woman and I go, I go, this
is one of my friend's dads. He was a legend.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I gave him like the brief history, and then I.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Go, do you want to listen to it, and she
was like, you could tell she was kind of like,
I don't know, but then I put it on and
we sat there and laughed and ate our food. It
was very, very fun. Comedy records of that time were short.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
It was it was like, yeah, I wish you would
have done like an hour and a half or something
like that, but I think his is only five.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
It was great, and from front to end it was
such an enjoy actually kind of flew by too, so
that was good. But or as far as maybe that's
why they made him shorter because you're just like wanting more.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Yeah, it was great anyways, Oh right on, man. Thanks. Yeah,
if you guys ever want to check it out, you
can maybe find it online or you can go on
eBay if you like old school records, like Jeff and
I collect old school comedy records. I have like over
one hundred different ones. Yeah, so it's like a big
thing for me. So I have like, like, I don't know, man,
I have stuff from the fifties, the sixties, the seventies, eight,
(02:23):
like all the way up. I have like Martin Lauren
stuff like all the way to my dad like and
everything in between. There's a great comic named Richard Jenny
back in the day. I have a couple of his albums.
He passed away, but uh, but yeah, his stuff used
to kill me back in the nineties. Man, I thought
he was hot shit lobster. Oh my. I wanted to
(02:44):
write a sitcom for him right before he passed away,
and it was called Shrinking Richard. And he was like
a shrink that would become like the characters in this
like role play situations with his patients, and uh, never
got to get it to him. And right as we
were ready to kind of like pitch, he had the unfortunate, uh,
the unfortunate passing.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
But yeah, the mask that was his big He did
the same.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Role. He was very, very famous, had a couple HBO
specials too. Man, he was the man shout out to
stand up comics from back in the day. All right, guys,
a lot of wrestling. This is a big week. If
you're not a fan of wrestling, too bad for you.
If you have friends that are fans of wrestling, they're
gonna annoy the hell out of you because this week
is gonna be awesome. You get Monday Night Raw, which
(03:31):
is gonna happen we're recording now. When this comes out,
you have already seen Monday Night Raw. You've got a
dub Dynamite getting ready to go all the way to
All in the go home show. You got some NXT.
If you like NXT, there's some TNA in there. If
you like TNA, there's some Friday Nights SmackDown on the
way to Evolution. You got the NXT Great American Bash
(03:54):
over the weekend. You got All Insuh, you got Aw's
all in on Saturday. You got Saturday Nights main event
with Goldberg and Gunther. We love Gunther over here. That's
gonna be a big time win spoiler. And that's the
week of wrestling. Are you kidding me? That's like thirteen
hour fourteen hours of wrestling minimum that you get to watch,
(04:17):
not that you have to watch. That you get to watch. Jeff,
you're rocking a Texas hat, You're rocking an NWOT shirt,
You're wrestling all the way? Is the great? Is this
the best week of wrestling this year?
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Absolutely? I mean there's a lot. I wish they would
have built more for Evolution. I feel like they've dropped
the ball. There are and I feel like there's a
lot of things happening wrestling that are a little loosey goosey.
Maybe it's so much wrestling that has been mismanaged a bit,
but I say more wrestling is good. I am one
(04:52):
of the guys who says make SmackDown five hours, don't
celebrate that it's two hours.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Make raw five hours.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Also like, the more are wrestling, the better, is what
I say.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Jeff wants us to watch. He wants us to be
a full time job where we're watching wrestling for forty
two hours a week. Oh, Alex, I think you're out
voted on that. I think both of them Okay, yeah,
fair enough, and I believe in the power of the vote,
so I'll go with it all right. First up, let's
start with ae w All in Texas. In honor of
(05:22):
Jeff's hat, we got the women's Casino Gauntlet match, and
the storyline for this is the winner of this match
gets a future women's title shot. Chris Statlander is confirmed.
She's pretty badass and tough, can lift chicks up and
smash them. This is a gauntlet style. I'm just now
starting to figure out what kind of match this is.
It took me four years, I think, to figure it
(05:45):
out because I'm old and dumb. You see some really
cool matches within the match here, sort of like what
they do with the Royal Rumble, which is really really fun.
And I don't know all the women that are going
to be in this, But if you want to go
out on a limbski, you want to take Willow, that's
who you want to take. Or if you want the
dark horse, you're going Julia Hart. I think those are
(06:07):
the two best and coolest picks that you could make
out there. Alex didn't even have the guts to make
a pick. You want to throw a name in there,
and aw, you want to toss somebody crazy in there.
Maybe Britt Baker gets a comeback. Finally, I think Britt
Baker's coming over to w B.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
I don't think she'll be but I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Julia Hart would be great, but she's still pretty. She's
been a TBS champion before.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Yeah, I think that's a fun pick, I think, But
do you think they let her win the big one?
Win the Casino Gauntlet match MGF or sorry, MJF kind
of like signature thing. It's kind of a huge thing
in AW. I would say, yeah, let's do Julia hart.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Men's Casino Gauntlet match. Speaking of MJF and his evil
twin MGF Mad Better watch out. Yeah, that guy's no
dope though he's scary. So the winner is the same thing,
they get an AW world title shot. I think this
is the storyline, which is mjf's reason why as far
(07:14):
as joining the Hurt Syndicate, I think MJF is the lockdown, easy,
hands down winner. Bet your friends, if you had a
friend that's dumb enough to bet against MJF and this
take him for all he's worth. He's gonna win this,
he's gonna call his shot. He's gonna get the World championship.
And that's when Bobby Lashley and then we're gonna turn
(07:36):
him out. And Bobby lash is like, nah, dude, I'm
going for the World Championship and I'm fighting you and
I'm busting your ass. I think that's the long term
story that they're telling, and I would love to see
Bobby Lashley versus MJF for the AW Championship, just to
see someone who's gonna have to just cheat their ass off,
and who's better at cheating than frigging Maxwell Jacob Friedman
(07:58):
against someone who could actually kill you, which is Bobby Lashley.
And that's my daughter's favorite wrestler, by the way, it
is Bobby last Leey she Fregago loves that dude, So
I think it's MJF. Our producer had some guts and
he picked MJF. Easy pick Jeff. Are you going crazy?
Are you picked? Are you going with someone crazy like
Jeff Jarrett? Or are you gonna be sensible? No?
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I I love MJF. I love Bobby Lashley, I love
the story you just told, and I hope that that's
what they do.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
So I'm also gonna go with MJF because we're smart.
That's why we all went with Jeff. Come on, next up.
You don't hear a lot about this title these days.
Not a lot of story behind this title right now.
I wish there was. And you have two people that
can tell a story in Adam Cole and then Don
(08:50):
Kallis Kyle Fletcher's manager. But I'm not sure why they
didn't give them a little bit more, or maybe they did,
and it was on their Saturday night show Collision, and
I'm just and I'm not able to watch that one,
so maybe that's what they did. And that, so that's
my bad people. However, this match is gonna kick friggin' ass.
Aw does great with matches like this. I always wish
(09:11):
there was a story involved, but they'll the match will
be awesome. Adam Cole's phenomenal and Kyle Fletcher is the
future and he's gonna come in strong. He's gonna actually
win this match. There's gonna be some shenanigans. Our producer
Alex picks the exact same finish as me. Uh, Don
Kalas is gonna do. Yeah, Don Kallas shady shit leads
to the Kyle Fletcher victory. I love Kyle Fletcher. I
(09:35):
think he he looks like a smaller Randy Orton, but
not that small, like the dude's pretty friggin buff. He's
brash and uh super Australian and kind of like f you.
I just like his attitude. And he's got Don Kallis
to talk for him until he learns or maybe it's
it's not his thing on the mic, but Don Kallas
can still talk for him. But I think he's gonna
(09:56):
win this match. I think that's where your money should go.
What do you think?
Speaker 3 (10:01):
I think he's a great, talented wrestler, and I'm into it,
but you know it's working.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Him being the heel is working. I'm gonna go with
Adam Cole. Ooh, you think he's gonna pull out victory
from the jaws of defeat.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
I hope so, Babe, Babe, just like Adam Cole.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
That's why I picked him. Yeah, he's cool. Our World
Tag Team Championship. The Hurt Syndicate Bobby Lashley and Shelton
Benjamin versus Mike Speedball Bailey, Kevin Knight just Knight. That's
not Knight, but I call Kiara Kira Kanight Lee, so
I'm calling him Kevin Knight Versus Christian Cage and Nick Wayne.
It's easy victory Hurt Syndicate all day. They're not breaking
(10:41):
up yet. They're too strong. There's no dissension there. They're
not gonna have any miscues. They're gonna kick ass. It'll
be a good match. There's a lot of people that
can take bumps in there. Christian Cage ain't taking nobody.
He's gonna be like, nah man, I'm taking like two
bumps and let these young gunners take all the rest
of these bumps. And those young gunners will Nick Wayne's
gonna take some crazy crashes and it's gonna look awesome.
(11:03):
Mike Bailey's gonna get beat up. Kevin Knight's gonna get
beat up from way up high in the sky. He'll
probably get speared when he jumps off the top turnbuckle,
and that'll be awesome. What's his face? Batista to that
someone back in the day, I just bolted him in half.
It was so cool. And anyway, it's gonna be victory
for the Hurt Syndicate. Our producer goes so far as
(11:23):
to say, not only is it the Hurt Syndicate that's
going to retain, but he thinks the Christian Cage and
Nick Wayne are gonna have some miscues that's gonna start
to the dissolvement of their relationship as the father figure
in his life, and this will be the story upcoming
to put Nick Wayne over when he finally defeats Christian Cage.
So that's how far our predictions go. You get fantasy
(11:46):
booking right after the match. What say you, Jeff, You're
mad Alex take it easy, all right.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
It's one thing to predict how you think the match
is gonna go. But now going on and then this
and then they're gonna break. It's bordering on spoiler alert.
He says, if you're if you're correct, now we go.
I heard this on Wrestling with Freddy.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
You know their producer seems to know every goddamn thing,
and so hey, take it easy with these predictions, Alex. Uh,
just say you think the Hurt Syndicate's gonna win. That's
all you had to say for a prediction.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Uh. But by the way, you're probably right. I'm gonna
go with a Hurt Syndicate. Yeah, Alex, what the hell man?
Sis like? Are you? Are you trying to produce our show?
Are you trying to book so nice that aw plucks
you from the show's going and then we're just sitting
here fucked with no producer, no one to help us
get through this goddamn episode because you just went and
(12:45):
got a job on the sneak.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
That's what it feels like to me. Going into business
for himself, that's what happens. That's what these wrestlers do.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
That's right, he's going in a business for himself, all right.
Moving on to the unifor a w Championship. Kenny Omega,
he's the international champion and kazuchko O Kata. He's the
continental champion and when their powers combined, they become the
unified ae W champion. This match will be wild. I've
(13:16):
caught up and watched their Japanese feud and seen what
they've done on YouTube and other websites as well. Some
that maybe you're not allowed to see wrestling on, but
maybe I did, and these guys are gonna kill it.
I like both these dudes. At this point in their
careers is when I got hip to them, so I've
had to play a lot of catch up. A lot
(13:37):
of y'all are way hip to these guys and you
got to see them in their prime. But I'm still
excited for this match. A little bit of story, it's mainly,
let's try to kill Kenny Omega so that he never
can even make it to the match. I'd like a
little more there, but the match is cool enough. I
really like Okada. He's super cold and cool in there.
Reminds me a lot of Randy Orton and Kenny Omega.
(13:59):
You know, he's pretty controversial man. People kind of either
love him or hate him, but nobody's ever like, yeah,
he's all right, Like nobody says that, and I think
he's cool, so I don't. I don't get I don't
get the hit on him, and I think the match
will be really good. Producer Alex is picking Kenny Omega
to win and unify the titles. This is a tricky one.
This is the hardest call of the night or on
(14:20):
the prediction episode for me, because I can kind of
see it go both ways. And my argument against Okada
losing is then, well what's next for him? Because I
don't does he does he go after the world title?
Like I don't. You can't make him disappear. He's too
good a wrestler for that. Whereas Kenny doesn't need a
title to be over. The crowd really really loves him,
(14:42):
so it's kind of hard. I'm gonna actually go with
Okada and go against our producer because I think it
gives him more to do until he's as over as
some of the other guys, and it gives him a
chance to still look awesome and amazing. So I'm going Okada.
Producer Alex goes Omega. Jeff, it's up to you to
break this this teeth clenching tie.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I go with Omega, and it's it's solely because it's
hard to tell a story when you're when your mic
works not great, and it's hard to do good mic
work when English maybe isn't your best language, like you know,
unfortunately I only know English, so when I'm listening, if
I'm not really into it and I'm not following, it
(15:25):
just puts them in a tough position. So it's just
hard for a lot of those things. And I think
Kenny Omega, you know, is a star like I just
love Kenny Omega. I've always love Kenny Omega. So for me,
that's that's, that's my pick for that every time.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
All right, Well, you guys are jerks and I'm super nice.
Next step the ae W and I'm looking forward to
this match. Man. I think Tony Storm did a good
job selling and showing some like some weaknesses in her
outer shell and and things to make you go, oh,
is she scared? Is she scared to Mercedes Monet? I
don't know if she can beat her, but now the
(16:03):
story is, yes, she can. She'll get over those demons
and she will get victory. And finally, Mercedes Monday will
lose a match in aew because she's undefeated y'all, she
kicks ass out there. Our producer picks Tony Storm to retain.
I'm picking Tony Storm to retain for all the reasons
I just told you. This character is growing on me.
Like every other story they try to tell with her,
(16:26):
like I'll not dig one so much, and then the
next one I'll be like, yeah, that was all right, man,
And then the next one I'm like eh, And then
this one I was like, yo, man, she's really like
showing me something out there. So yeah, so I'm looking
forward to the match Tony Storm to retain. What about you, Jeff, Well,
you guys know how I feel about the Tony Storm character. Yeah,
so I'm picking Mercedes Money, the winner of the Women's
(16:49):
Owen Heart Cup. Yes, sir.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Also you want to hear a quick impression. Yeah, here's
my impression of Owen Hart learning about the Owen Heart Cup.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
What the hell is a w What is this? How
is this happening?
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Whoa?
Speaker 1 (17:16):
What?
Speaker 3 (17:18):
What?
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I feel like owenhar would be like, what the hell
is going on? What is it?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Like?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
You? Why is this award in in ae w Bro.
I've never You've never told a joke I didn't laugh
at since i've met you. I hated that joke. Why
is it an aew? That's the point, that's the joke,
what like it should be a ww? First of all,
(17:42):
you said impression, and it didn't sound like him at all. OK,
So that that I was like, well, Jeff's just yelling,
that's not it. Doesn't it sound like you did. It
was really loud, and that's the first joke you've ever
told that. I'm only laughing because of how not funny
it was.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
All right, Well, you know, I guess maybe I should
have just said, why is the Owen Hart cup in
ae W?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
That's I would put hands up and said, I agree, hallelujah.
So the premise was there. You just didn't like the impression.
The impression was not Dana White's like level.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
So I was trying to do that one guy, you know,
the who was the guy who came out and did
the Owen Heart impression, the little guy oh my for
the big fake nose. I was basically doing a bad
impression of that guy's good impression. You know when people
do Will Ferrell doing carry like I was kind of
trying to.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
I was trying to. That's that's how I used to
do Roger Rabbit. I could only do my version. What
the hell is I can't do it again?
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Just keep doing it until you like it.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Three minutes later, Okay, okay, I got it. A w
World Championship, John Moxley the champion versus hangman Adam Page
in a Texas death match in Texas while Jeff's wearing
(19:10):
a Texas hat. Jeff, we know how much you like
Adam Page and John make it away? Yeah, I like
them both, but take it away, sir, Texas.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
I love John Moxley, I love hangman Adam Page. This
is definitely I mean, it is the main event, but
it would have been the main event out of this
entire week for me, no matter what. I am really hoping.
I'm hoping John Moxley wins this match. That's kind of
(19:41):
what I'm hoping, but it would be very, very exciting
because I just want to see it keep going. I
like the Moxley Adam Page. I love that they're doing this.
I think that you know, you, Ki'd just immediately have
a hangman win the title.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Dude, if he loses in Texas, they're gonna go freaking nuts.
They're gonna go nuts if he loses. Um, Yeah, that's all.
I just think it'll be.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
It'll be a great match, and I think it's gonna
be interesting to watch them.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Tell this is all. If you're right, then they got
me with the story because I fully believe story wise
that the end of the story is Adam Hangman Page
the cowboy, winning in Texas in a Texas death match,
with all the cards stacked against him. Maybe a little
(20:36):
help from his friends as the song goes, but that's
only to combat the rest of the death writers. I
think the story ends with him holding the championship up
hi finally letting it out of the briefcase and showing
it to the people, and he's gonna be the people's
champion in Texas where cowboys come from in case you
(20:56):
guys didn't know, that's where cowboys come from is Texas,
then it'll come from California. So I think it's that
if they go with with Moxley, they totally tricked me
and got me. Our producer also picks Adam Hangman Page
to become the new aw World Champion. What do you
(21:17):
guys pick? Do you go with Jeff the smart booking
or do you go with Oh, they got me.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
The Freddie booking, I feel like they put a lot
of these John Moxley matches too. It was like just
to show how much punishment he can take, because he's
such like a death match kind of extreme guy that
like they love putting him in these type of things.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
There's so many Moxley match Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
I mean he's the he's the real life mankind of
modern times. Like he can take some real damage. Dude,
I don't know how he does it. I mean he
leads almost every week. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Uh. And now I'm into blood. When we started this podcast,
I got squeamish of blood in wrestling, fake or real. Yeah,
and like it's it's corrupted me over the last like
two or three years. Now, I'm like, yeah, yeah, I
got bleed. I go in waves. When I was a teenager,
I was like, I want them all to bleed. It's
gotta look real. It's gotta look real. And then as
I got older, I'm like, Jeff, take it easy, you
(22:12):
don't need it. Yeah, that's how I was. I was like,
I don't know, man, this is I don't want them
to get hurt for real. That's terrible. Like that kind
of stuff. And now I'm like, yeah, look at that blood.
All right, quickly run down Saturday Night's main event. This
is going head to head against all in. So now
you have to pick sides. What are you gonna watch?
Who do you hate and who do you love? I'm
(22:34):
just kidding, watch both. I don't care. Oh I watch bulls.
So this one features Goldberg's final match. It's got h
Drew MacIntyre. He's gonna be in there. It's got La Night.
He's gonna be in there. And there'll be some other
stuff too that we probably don't get to because we
record this on on Mondays. But let's get right to it.
Singles match Drew MacIntyre versus Randy Orton The Scottish sly Dog.
(23:01):
Drew mcindyre versus everybody loves Drew by the way he
made his return. Everybody's like, oh yeah, he's been gone.
Yeah man, they love him Versus Randy Orton. Everybody loves
Randy Orton except me, the son of a bitch. But
McIntyre's back. He returned on SmackDown. He talks some smack
and got r k a hood that's cold blooded, and
(23:23):
then he gets the match. They're gonna be a Saturday
Night's main event. Our producer picks Wow, Randy. He's going
with Randy, my arch nemesis in life, Randy Orton. I
guess he's leaving the show anyway, So now he doesn't
care if he picks against me like that. He's gonna
go both. Yeah, that's cold, man, he didn't even tell
us he picks Randy. I'm going the other way, Jeff.
(23:48):
I'm taking Drew McIntyre. He's been off for a while,
he's taken some losses, he's taken some beatings. I think
he's due for a good push. You gotta get someone
ready for the for the championship after uh John Cena.
Eventually he loses to pursue whoever that champion is gonna be,
and Drew can kind of pursume whether they're a heel
or a babyface. And he's the man. The crowd goes
big for him. So I'm going Drew all the way.
(24:10):
But who are you going with? You have another tie
to break, sir.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
I think this one's probably the toughest one to predict,
because you know, McEntire's been gone. Everyone loves him. You
can't just make him come back and immediately lose. But
also Randy Orton is red hot right now. Like I
think Randy Orton's having this big moment. Like as far
as like this kind of everyone kind of forgot about
(24:33):
him a little bit.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
You know.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
He was in that shamous kind of category where he's
always been there.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
We've always liked him.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Everybody knows he's capable, everyone knows he's had his victories.
But like now he's back in the limelight.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Man, this is tough.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
I think I'll pick Drew McIntyre though, yeah, just because
I don't think he can have him lose this soon.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
People are too excited.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Also, he he's had some famous losses that pissed people off.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
That's true.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
You know you were saying, oh, I don't hey, man,
Adam Page is going to lose in Texas. Remember when
they had Drew McIntyre lose in the main event of
the pay per view of the country He's.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
From yeah, man, And then he had to sing with
with yeh the t with what's his face? The boxer
the big giant, weird looking guy who's actually Tyson Fury. Yeah, yeah,
he was a good boxer, all right. Next step, it's
a singles match. Singles match, ladies. No, I'm just kidding.
These guys are taken. LA and Knight versus Seth Rollins,
(25:38):
Easiest pick of the night, Easiest pick of the night.
It's one against one hundred and seven and Paul Hayman,
and it's also Seth Rollins, who one on one is
not going to lose a match to l A. Knight.
So when it's ten on one, they ain't no way
in hell he's gonna lose. Our producer Alex picked Seth.
I know, I pick Seth all day long. He's not
(25:58):
taking any l's unless it's a tag match and then
somebody else gets pinned. He's going all the way till
he gets the belt. He might he might cash in
on Saturday Night's main event. We don't even know. So
that's no. And so Jeff I was gonna ask, but
you just told us it's Seth Seth all day long.
Come on, all right. World Heavyweight Championship. Gunther versus Goldberg.
(26:24):
We had some some bad blood last year in Atlanta,
and he talks him smack in front of Goldberg's family,
called him a punk ass in front of his son,
You little punk ass bitch, He said it in German.
That's why you guys don't remember. But he totally said that,
and Goldberg wasn't having it. He got I was like,
you don't get to call me that palace speak German.
I understand exactly what you just said. And Gunther was like, well, good,
(26:47):
do something about it a year from now. And so
they did, and now they're gonna I'm trying to give
this a story because I'm not I'm not a Goldberg guy.
Uh uh.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
And then Owen Hard Cushing and said, you know what,
you know what, everybody, I didn't come from Canada.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Do you hear this German talk? Whoa? Why did he
sound irish that time? Impressions from Canada said he sounded
like the leprechaun from the Calgary you know, they got
that strange direct a lot of Irish up there. All right,
(27:28):
Well it was funny though. All right, So I think
we're all picking going through to win this one and
then we can uh, we can move we can move on.
I'm not sure why they're even I mean, I guess
it's a nice hey, thanks for you know, the contribution
of wrestling and all that good stuff. It is interesting.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Do you think that the crowd will pop for Goldberg
or are they gonna like roll their eyes at this.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
I think it depends on the city. If they were
back in Saudi Arabia, huge pop, like they went crazy
for him the last time he was there against against
brock Lessner and won the championship, like his pop was huge.
So I think it's going to depend on the city
and how many like old school fans are there. Like
old school fans will pop for him, new school fans
will be like, well, who's who's this? That's where's all
the new people? So yeah, I think it'll just depend.
(28:14):
But Atlanta's his hometown, so he should get a real
warm welcome there. When he was in the crowd last time,
he got a real warm welcome, So I think they'll
give him a lot of love, and Guta will sell
big time for him and take some super big bumps,
make him look tough and strong, and it should be
a fun, fast, like seven to ten minute match man
whatever like it, cause.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
He never want anything to feel forced, you know, Like
so like there's all these great statues of the legends
of Los Angeles in front of the Staples Center now
the Crypto Arena or whatever you know, but there was
one guy, I want to say, who would not stop
moaning and complaining in the public eye that he didn't
have a statue. Now, the guy deserves the statue and
(28:54):
he's a legend, but by the time he got the
statue of him's like, yeah, he was always complaining about
it and never like So it's kind of like one
of those things, like.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
We do want to honor Goldberg.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
Goldberg's a huge part of nineties wrestling, like he was
this it was a really big chapter of wrestling, but
it seems forced and it seems strange, and we're like,
why Gunther and why now?
Speaker 1 (29:15):
So I'm wondering.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
I'm just I guess I'm hoping it'll be nice for
Goldberg in Atlanta, but I'm wondering if people like me
are just gonna be like what are they doing? Like
why are we doing this? So I'm just curious how
the fans will will react.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Yeah, I mean, I think it's a Saturday Night's main event,
so it's not as important as a premium live event,
right some Yeah, so they're not depending on a number
from Goldberg, so I think it's his hometown and they
were able to book it and they're like, Yo, this
is a nice thing to do. Let's do this and
that's cool man, that's cool. Good. All right, that's it
(29:52):
for this week's episode. Y'all hit us up with your predictions.
Let us know if you made money on your friends,
let us know if you lost money. If you lose,
we're super sorry. And if you won, we freaking told
you so. Tune in tomorrow for Thursday Unsanctioned. Jeff, tell
the people where you're gonna be at this coming week week.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
Just like all your favorite wrestlers, I will be in Texas.
I have five, maybe maybe six sold out shows at
the Comedy Mothership in Austin, Texas where Joe Rogan is
or Joe Rogan's Club. Since those are all sold out,
you can see me next week in Vegas at Wise. Guys,
if you guys are gonna be in the Vegas area,
(30:31):
it's gonna be great.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Shout out to Elenar Olenar. We love you. See you
next week. Pe
What's up? Everybody? Welcome to a brand new episode of
Wrestling with Friends Wrestling with Freddy. This week's episode is
titled why is Jeff So washed Out? Let's start the show.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
And now your main event introducing thosts are Wrestling with Freddy,
Chep Do and Predy Friends.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Tune all right, So question of the week, why are
you so washed out? Bro? Hey?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
You years of COVID and zoom meetings and podcasts. You
think i'd have my lighting together by now, but no,
things are real behind here that die house, and I
don't know how to light a zoom call.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
I just don't know how to do it. It's so
washed out. It looks like your dad's old camcorder and
he was like recording you at a baseball game when
you were like eight yo.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Tato film as we called it. Speaking of dads. I
listened to your dad's record and it was great.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
No way, Oh it's awesome. Man.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
It came in the mail right when I was hanging
out with a woman and I go, I go, this
is one of my friend's dads. He was a legend.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I gave him like the brief history, and then I.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Go, do you want to listen to it, and she
was like, you could tell she was kind of like,
I don't know, but then I put it on and
we sat there and laughed and ate our food. It
was very, very fun. Comedy records of that time were short.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
It was it was like, yeah, I wish you would
have done like an hour and a half or something
like that, but I think his is only five.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
It was great, and from front to end it was
such an enjoy actually kind of flew by too, so
that was good. But or as far as maybe that's
why they made him shorter because you're just like wanting more.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Yeah, it was great anyways, Oh right on, man. Thanks. Yeah,
if you guys ever want to check it out, you
can maybe find it online or you can go on
eBay if you like old school records, like Jeff and
I collect old school comedy records. I have like over
one hundred different ones. Yeah, so it's like a big
thing for me. So I have like, like, I don't know, man,
I have stuff from the fifties, the sixties, the seventies, eight,
(02:23):
like all the way up. I have like Martin Lauren
stuff like all the way to my dad like and
everything in between. There's a great comic named Richard Jenny
back in the day. I have a couple of his albums.
He passed away, but uh, but yeah, his stuff used
to kill me back in the nineties. Man, I thought
he was hot shit lobster. Oh my. I wanted to
(02:44):
write a sitcom for him right before he passed away,
and it was called Shrinking Richard. And he was like
a shrink that would become like the characters in this
like role play situations with his patients, and uh, never
got to get it to him. And right as we
were ready to kind of like pitch, he had the unfortunate, uh,
the unfortunate passing.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
But yeah, the mask that was his big He did
the same.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Role. He was very, very famous, had a couple HBO
specials too. Man, he was the man shout out to
stand up comics from back in the day. All right, guys,
a lot of wrestling. This is a big week. If
you're not a fan of wrestling, too bad for you.
If you have friends that are fans of wrestling, they're
gonna annoy the hell out of you because this week
is gonna be awesome. You get Monday Night Raw, which
(03:31):
is gonna happen we're recording now. When this comes out,
you have already seen Monday Night Raw. You've got a
dub Dynamite getting ready to go all the way to
All in the go home show. You got some NXT.
If you like NXT, there's some TNA in there. If
you like TNA, there's some Friday Nights SmackDown on the
way to Evolution. You got the NXT Great American Bash
(03:54):
over the weekend. You got All Insuh, you got Aw's
all in on Saturday. You got Saturday Nights main event
with Goldberg and Gunther. We love Gunther over here. That's
gonna be a big time win spoiler. And that's the
week of wrestling. Are you kidding me? That's like thirteen
hour fourteen hours of wrestling minimum that you get to watch,
(04:17):
not that you have to watch. That you get to watch. Jeff,
you're rocking a Texas hat, You're rocking an NWOT shirt,
You're wrestling all the way? Is the great? Is this
the best week of wrestling this year?
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Absolutely? I mean there's a lot. I wish they would
have built more for Evolution. I feel like they've dropped
the ball. There are and I feel like there's a
lot of things happening wrestling that are a little loosey goosey.
Maybe it's so much wrestling that has been mismanaged a bit,
but I say more wrestling is good. I am one
(04:52):
of the guys who says make SmackDown five hours, don't
celebrate that it's two hours.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Make raw five hours.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Also like, the more are wrestling, the better, is what
I say.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Jeff wants us to watch. He wants us to be
a full time job where we're watching wrestling for forty
two hours a week. Oh, Alex, I think you're out
voted on that. I think both of them Okay, yeah,
fair enough, and I believe in the power of the vote,
so I'll go with it all right. First up, let's
start with ae w All in Texas. In honor of
(05:22):
Jeff's hat, we got the women's Casino Gauntlet match, and
the storyline for this is the winner of this match
gets a future women's title shot. Chris Statlander is confirmed.
She's pretty badass and tough, can lift chicks up and
smash them. This is a gauntlet style. I'm just now
starting to figure out what kind of match this is.
It took me four years, I think, to figure it
(05:45):
out because I'm old and dumb. You see some really
cool matches within the match here, sort of like what
they do with the Royal Rumble, which is really really fun.
And I don't know all the women that are going
to be in this, But if you want to go
out on a limbski, you want to take Willow, that's
who you want to take. Or if you want the
dark horse, you're going Julia Hart. I think those are
(06:07):
the two best and coolest picks that you could make
out there. Alex didn't even have the guts to make
a pick. You want to throw a name in there,
and aw, you want to toss somebody crazy in there.
Maybe Britt Baker gets a comeback. Finally, I think Britt
Baker's coming over to w B.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
I don't think she'll be but I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Julia Hart would be great, but she's still pretty. She's
been a TBS champion before.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Yeah, I think that's a fun pick, I think, But
do you think they let her win the big one?
Win the Casino Gauntlet match MGF or sorry, MJF kind
of like signature thing. It's kind of a huge thing
in AW. I would say, yeah, let's do Julia hart.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Men's Casino Gauntlet match. Speaking of MJF and his evil
twin MGF Mad Better watch out. Yeah, that guy's no
dope though he's scary. So the winner is the same thing,
they get an AW world title shot. I think this
is the storyline, which is mjf's reason why as far
(07:14):
as joining the Hurt Syndicate, I think MJF is the lockdown, easy,
hands down winner. Bet your friends, if you had a
friend that's dumb enough to bet against MJF and this
take him for all he's worth. He's gonna win this,
he's gonna call his shot. He's gonna get the World championship.
And that's when Bobby Lashley and then we're gonna turn
(07:36):
him out. And Bobby lash is like, nah, dude, I'm
going for the World Championship and I'm fighting you and
I'm busting your ass. I think that's the long term
story that they're telling, and I would love to see
Bobby Lashley versus MJF for the AW Championship, just to
see someone who's gonna have to just cheat their ass off,
and who's better at cheating than frigging Maxwell Jacob Friedman
(07:58):
against someone who could actually kill you, which is Bobby Lashley.
And that's my daughter's favorite wrestler, by the way, it
is Bobby last Leey she Fregago loves that dude, So
I think it's MJF. Our producer had some guts and
he picked MJF. Easy pick Jeff. Are you going crazy?
Are you picked? Are you going with someone crazy like
Jeff Jarrett? Or are you gonna be sensible? No?
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I I love MJF. I love Bobby Lashley, I love
the story you just told, and I hope that that's
what they do.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
So I'm also gonna go with MJF because we're smart.
That's why we all went with Jeff. Come on, next up.
You don't hear a lot about this title these days.
Not a lot of story behind this title right now.
I wish there was. And you have two people that
can tell a story in Adam Cole and then Don
(08:50):
Kallis Kyle Fletcher's manager. But I'm not sure why they
didn't give them a little bit more, or maybe they did,
and it was on their Saturday night show Collision, and
I'm just and I'm not able to watch that one,
so maybe that's what they did. And that, so that's
my bad people. However, this match is gonna kick friggin' ass.
Aw does great with matches like this. I always wish
(09:11):
there was a story involved, but they'll the match will
be awesome. Adam Cole's phenomenal and Kyle Fletcher is the
future and he's gonna come in strong. He's gonna actually
win this match. There's gonna be some shenanigans. Our producer
Alex picks the exact same finish as me. Uh, Don
Kalas is gonna do. Yeah, Don Kallas shady shit leads
to the Kyle Fletcher victory. I love Kyle Fletcher. I
(09:35):
think he he looks like a smaller Randy Orton, but
not that small, like the dude's pretty friggin buff. He's
brash and uh super Australian and kind of like f you.
I just like his attitude. And he's got Don Kallis
to talk for him until he learns or maybe it's
it's not his thing on the mic, but Don Kallas
can still talk for him. But I think he's gonna
(09:56):
win this match. I think that's where your money should go.
What do you think?
Speaker 3 (10:01):
I think he's a great, talented wrestler, and I'm into it,
but you know it's working.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Him being the heel is working. I'm gonna go with
Adam Cole. Ooh, you think he's gonna pull out victory
from the jaws of defeat.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
I hope so, Babe, Babe, just like Adam Cole.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
That's why I picked him. Yeah, he's cool. Our World
Tag Team Championship. The Hurt Syndicate Bobby Lashley and Shelton
Benjamin versus Mike Speedball Bailey, Kevin Knight just Knight. That's
not Knight, but I call Kiara Kira Kanight Lee, so
I'm calling him Kevin Knight Versus Christian Cage and Nick Wayne.
It's easy victory Hurt Syndicate all day. They're not breaking
(10:41):
up yet. They're too strong. There's no dissension there. They're
not gonna have any miscues. They're gonna kick ass. It'll
be a good match. There's a lot of people that
can take bumps in there. Christian Cage ain't taking nobody.
He's gonna be like, nah man, I'm taking like two
bumps and let these young gunners take all the rest
of these bumps. And those young gunners will Nick Wayne's
gonna take some crazy crashes and it's gonna look awesome.
(11:03):
Mike Bailey's gonna get beat up. Kevin Knight's gonna get
beat up from way up high in the sky. He'll
probably get speared when he jumps off the top turnbuckle,
and that'll be awesome. What's his face? Batista to that
someone back in the day, I just bolted him in half.
It was so cool. And anyway, it's gonna be victory
for the Hurt Syndicate. Our producer goes so far as
(11:23):
to say, not only is it the Hurt Syndicate that's
going to retain, but he thinks the Christian Cage and
Nick Wayne are gonna have some miscues that's gonna start
to the dissolvement of their relationship as the father figure
in his life, and this will be the story upcoming
to put Nick Wayne over when he finally defeats Christian Cage.
So that's how far our predictions go. You get fantasy
(11:46):
booking right after the match. What say you, Jeff, You're
mad Alex take it easy, all right.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
It's one thing to predict how you think the match
is gonna go. But now going on and then this
and then they're gonna break. It's bordering on spoiler alert.
He says, if you're if you're correct, now we go.
I heard this on Wrestling with Freddy.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
You know their producer seems to know every goddamn thing,
and so hey, take it easy with these predictions, Alex. Uh,
just say you think the Hurt Syndicate's gonna win. That's
all you had to say for a prediction.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Uh. But by the way, you're probably right. I'm gonna
go with a Hurt Syndicate. Yeah, Alex, what the hell man?
Sis like? Are you? Are you trying to produce our show?
Are you trying to book so nice that aw plucks
you from the show's going and then we're just sitting
here fucked with no producer, no one to help us
get through this goddamn episode because you just went and
(12:45):
got a job on the sneak.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
That's what it feels like to me. Going into business
for himself, that's what happens. That's what these wrestlers do.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
That's right, he's going in a business for himself, all right.
Moving on to the unifor a w Championship. Kenny Omega,
he's the international champion and kazuchko O Kata. He's the
continental champion and when their powers combined, they become the
unified ae W champion. This match will be wild. I've
(13:16):
caught up and watched their Japanese feud and seen what
they've done on YouTube and other websites as well. Some
that maybe you're not allowed to see wrestling on, but
maybe I did, and these guys are gonna kill it.
I like both these dudes. At this point in their
careers is when I got hip to them, so I've
had to play a lot of catch up. A lot
(13:37):
of y'all are way hip to these guys and you
got to see them in their prime. But I'm still
excited for this match. A little bit of story, it's mainly,
let's try to kill Kenny Omega so that he never
can even make it to the match. I'd like a
little more there, but the match is cool enough. I
really like Okada. He's super cold and cool in there.
Reminds me a lot of Randy Orton and Kenny Omega.
(13:59):
You know, he's pretty controversial man. People kind of either
love him or hate him, but nobody's ever like, yeah,
he's all right, Like nobody says that, and I think
he's cool, so I don't. I don't get I don't
get the hit on him, and I think the match
will be really good. Producer Alex is picking Kenny Omega
to win and unify the titles. This is a tricky one.
This is the hardest call of the night or on
(14:20):
the prediction episode for me, because I can kind of
see it go both ways. And my argument against Okada
losing is then, well what's next for him? Because I
don't does he does he go after the world title?
Like I don't. You can't make him disappear. He's too
good a wrestler for that. Whereas Kenny doesn't need a
title to be over. The crowd really really loves him,
(14:42):
so it's kind of hard. I'm gonna actually go with
Okada and go against our producer because I think it
gives him more to do until he's as over as
some of the other guys, and it gives him a
chance to still look awesome and amazing. So I'm going Okada.
Producer Alex goes Omega. Jeff, it's up to you to
break this this teeth clenching tie.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
I go with Omega, and it's it's solely because it's
hard to tell a story when you're when your mic
works not great, and it's hard to do good mic
work when English maybe isn't your best language, like you know,
unfortunately I only know English, so when I'm listening, if
I'm not really into it and I'm not following, it
(15:25):
just puts them in a tough position. So it's just
hard for a lot of those things. And I think
Kenny Omega, you know, is a star like I just
love Kenny Omega. I've always love Kenny Omega. So for me,
that's that's, that's my pick for that every time.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
All right, Well, you guys are jerks and I'm super nice.
Next step the ae W and I'm looking forward to
this match. Man. I think Tony Storm did a good
job selling and showing some like some weaknesses in her
outer shell and and things to make you go, oh,
is she scared? Is she scared to Mercedes Monet? I
don't know if she can beat her, but now the
(16:03):
story is, yes, she can. She'll get over those demons
and she will get victory. And finally, Mercedes Monday will
lose a match in aew because she's undefeated y'all, she
kicks ass out there. Our producer picks Tony Storm to retain.
I'm picking Tony Storm to retain for all the reasons
I just told you. This character is growing on me.
Like every other story they try to tell with her,
(16:26):
like I'll not dig one so much, and then the
next one I'll be like, yeah, that was all right, man,
And then the next one I'm like eh, And then
this one I was like, yo, man, she's really like
showing me something out there. So yeah, so I'm looking
forward to the match Tony Storm to retain. What about you, Jeff, Well,
you guys know how I feel about the Tony Storm character. Yeah,
so I'm picking Mercedes Money, the winner of the Women's
(16:49):
Owen Heart Cup. Yes, sir.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Also you want to hear a quick impression. Yeah, here's
my impression of Owen Hart learning about the Owen Heart Cup.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
What the hell is a w What is this? How
is this happening?
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Whoa?
Speaker 1 (17:16):
What?
Speaker 3 (17:18):
What?
Speaker 1 (17:18):
I feel like owenhar would be like, what the hell
is going on? What is it?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Like?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
You? Why is this award in in ae w Bro.
I've never You've never told a joke I didn't laugh
at since i've met you. I hated that joke. Why
is it an aew? That's the point, that's the joke,
what like it should be a ww? First of all,
(17:42):
you said impression, and it didn't sound like him at all. OK,
So that that I was like, well, Jeff's just yelling,
that's not it. Doesn't it sound like you did. It
was really loud, and that's the first joke you've ever
told that. I'm only laughing because of how not funny
it was.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
All right, Well, you know, I guess maybe I should
have just said, why is the Owen Hart cup in
ae W?
Speaker 1 (18:06):
That's I would put hands up and said, I agree, hallelujah.
So the premise was there. You just didn't like the impression.
The impression was not Dana White's like level.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
So I was trying to do that one guy, you know,
the who was the guy who came out and did
the Owen Heart impression, the little guy oh my for
the big fake nose. I was basically doing a bad
impression of that guy's good impression. You know when people
do Will Ferrell doing carry like I was kind of
trying to.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
I was trying to. That's that's how I used to
do Roger Rabbit. I could only do my version. What
the hell is I can't do it again?
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Just keep doing it until you like it.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Three minutes later, Okay, okay, I got it. A w
World Championship, John Moxley the champion versus hangman Adam Page
in a Texas death match in Texas while Jeff's wearing
(19:10):
a Texas hat. Jeff, we know how much you like
Adam Page and John make it away? Yeah, I like
them both, but take it away, sir, Texas.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
I love John Moxley, I love hangman Adam Page. This
is definitely I mean, it is the main event, but
it would have been the main event out of this
entire week for me, no matter what. I am really hoping.
I'm hoping John Moxley wins this match. That's kind of
(19:41):
what I'm hoping, but it would be very, very exciting
because I just want to see it keep going. I
like the Moxley Adam Page. I love that they're doing this.
I think that you know, you, Ki'd just immediately have
a hangman win the title.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Dude, if he loses in Texas, they're gonna go freaking nuts.
They're gonna go nuts if he loses. Um, Yeah, that's all.
I just think it'll be.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
It'll be a great match, and I think it's gonna
be interesting to watch them.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Tell this is all. If you're right, then they got
me with the story because I fully believe story wise
that the end of the story is Adam Hangman Page
the cowboy, winning in Texas in a Texas death match,
with all the cards stacked against him. Maybe a little
(20:36):
help from his friends as the song goes, but that's
only to combat the rest of the death writers. I
think the story ends with him holding the championship up
hi finally letting it out of the briefcase and showing
it to the people, and he's gonna be the people's
champion in Texas where cowboys come from in case you
(20:56):
guys didn't know, that's where cowboys come from is Texas,
then it'll come from California. So I think it's that
if they go with with Moxley, they totally tricked me
and got me. Our producer also picks Adam Hangman Page
to become the new aw World Champion. What do you
(21:17):
guys pick? Do you go with Jeff the smart booking
or do you go with Oh, they got me.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
The Freddie booking, I feel like they put a lot
of these John Moxley matches too. It was like just
to show how much punishment he can take, because he's
such like a death match kind of extreme guy that
like they love putting him in these type of things.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
There's so many Moxley match Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
I mean he's the he's the real life mankind of
modern times. Like he can take some real damage. Dude,
I don't know how he does it. I mean he
leads almost every week. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Uh. And now I'm into blood. When we started this podcast,
I got squeamish of blood in wrestling, fake or real. Yeah,
and like it's it's corrupted me over the last like
two or three years. Now, I'm like, yeah, yeah, I
got bleed. I go in waves. When I was a teenager,
I was like, I want them all to bleed. It's
gotta look real. It's gotta look real. And then as
I got older, I'm like, Jeff, take it easy, you
(22:12):
don't need it. Yeah, that's how I was. I was like,
I don't know, man, this is I don't want them
to get hurt for real. That's terrible. Like that kind
of stuff. And now I'm like, yeah, look at that blood.
All right, quickly run down Saturday Night's main event. This
is going head to head against all in. So now
you have to pick sides. What are you gonna watch?
Who do you hate and who do you love? I'm
(22:34):
just kidding, watch both. I don't care. Oh I watch bulls.
So this one features Goldberg's final match. It's got h
Drew MacIntyre. He's gonna be in there. It's got La Night.
He's gonna be in there. And there'll be some other
stuff too that we probably don't get to because we
record this on on Mondays. But let's get right to it.
Singles match Drew MacIntyre versus Randy Orton The Scottish sly Dog.
(23:01):
Drew mcindyre versus everybody loves Drew by the way he
made his return. Everybody's like, oh yeah, he's been gone.
Yeah man, they love him Versus Randy Orton. Everybody loves
Randy Orton except me, the son of a bitch. But
McIntyre's back. He returned on SmackDown. He talks some smack
and got r k a hood that's cold blooded, and
(23:23):
then he gets the match. They're gonna be a Saturday
Night's main event. Our producer picks Wow, Randy. He's going
with Randy, my arch nemesis in life, Randy Orton. I
guess he's leaving the show anyway, So now he doesn't
care if he picks against me like that. He's gonna
go both. Yeah, that's cold, man, he didn't even tell
us he picks Randy. I'm going the other way, Jeff.
(23:48):
I'm taking Drew McIntyre. He's been off for a while,
he's taken some losses, he's taken some beatings. I think
he's due for a good push. You gotta get someone
ready for the for the championship after uh John Cena.
Eventually he loses to pursue whoever that champion is gonna be,
and Drew can kind of pursume whether they're a heel
or a babyface. And he's the man. The crowd goes
big for him. So I'm going Drew all the way.
(24:10):
But who are you going with? You have another tie
to break, sir.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
I think this one's probably the toughest one to predict,
because you know, McEntire's been gone. Everyone loves him. You
can't just make him come back and immediately lose. But
also Randy Orton is red hot right now. Like I
think Randy Orton's having this big moment. Like as far
as like this kind of everyone kind of forgot about
(24:33):
him a little bit.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
You know.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
He was in that shamous kind of category where he's
always been there.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
We've always liked him.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Everybody knows he's capable, everyone knows he's had his victories.
But like now he's back in the limelight.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Man, this is tough.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
I think I'll pick Drew McIntyre though, yeah, just because
I don't think he can have him lose this soon.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
People are too excited.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Also, he he's had some famous losses that pissed people off.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
That's true.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
You know you were saying, oh, I don't hey, man,
Adam Page is going to lose in Texas. Remember when
they had Drew McIntyre lose in the main event of
the pay per view of the country He's.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
From yeah, man, And then he had to sing with
with yeh the t with what's his face? The boxer
the big giant, weird looking guy who's actually Tyson Fury. Yeah, yeah,
he was a good boxer, all right. Next step, it's
a singles match. Singles match, ladies. No, I'm just kidding.
These guys are taken. LA and Knight versus Seth Rollins,
(25:38):
Easiest pick of the night, Easiest pick of the night.
It's one against one hundred and seven and Paul Hayman,
and it's also Seth Rollins, who one on one is
not going to lose a match to l A. Knight.
So when it's ten on one, they ain't no way
in hell he's gonna lose. Our producer Alex picked Seth.
I know, I pick Seth all day long. He's not
(25:58):
taking any l's unless it's a tag match and then
somebody else gets pinned. He's going all the way till
he gets the belt. He might he might cash in
on Saturday Night's main event. We don't even know. So
that's no. And so Jeff I was gonna ask, but
you just told us it's Seth Seth all day long.
Come on, all right. World Heavyweight Championship. Gunther versus Goldberg.
(26:24):
We had some some bad blood last year in Atlanta,
and he talks him smack in front of Goldberg's family,
called him a punk ass in front of his son,
You little punk ass bitch, He said it in German.
That's why you guys don't remember. But he totally said that,
and Goldberg wasn't having it. He got I was like,
you don't get to call me that palace speak German.
I understand exactly what you just said. And Gunther was like, well, good,
(26:47):
do something about it a year from now. And so
they did, and now they're gonna I'm trying to give
this a story because I'm not I'm not a Goldberg guy.
Uh uh.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
And then Owen Hard Cushing and said, you know what,
you know what, everybody, I didn't come from Canada.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Do you hear this German talk? Whoa? Why did he
sound irish that time? Impressions from Canada said he sounded
like the leprechaun from the Calgary you know, they got
that strange direct a lot of Irish up there. All right,
(27:28):
Well it was funny though. All right, So I think
we're all picking going through to win this one and
then we can uh, we can move we can move on.
I'm not sure why they're even I mean, I guess
it's a nice hey, thanks for you know, the contribution
of wrestling and all that good stuff. It is interesting.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Do you think that the crowd will pop for Goldberg
or are they gonna like roll their eyes at this.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
I think it depends on the city. If they were
back in Saudi Arabia, huge pop, like they went crazy
for him the last time he was there against against
brock Lessner and won the championship, like his pop was huge.
So I think it's going to depend on the city
and how many like old school fans are there. Like
old school fans will pop for him, new school fans
will be like, well, who's who's this? That's where's all
the new people? So yeah, I think it'll just depend.
(28:14):
But Atlanta's his hometown, so he should get a real
warm welcome there. When he was in the crowd last time,
he got a real warm welcome, So I think they'll
give him a lot of love, and Guta will sell
big time for him and take some super big bumps,
make him look tough and strong, and it should be
a fun, fast, like seven to ten minute match man
whatever like it, cause.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
He never want anything to feel forced, you know, Like
so like there's all these great statues of the legends
of Los Angeles in front of the Staples Center now
the Crypto Arena or whatever you know, but there was
one guy, I want to say, who would not stop
moaning and complaining in the public eye that he didn't
have a statue. Now, the guy deserves the statue and
(28:54):
he's a legend, but by the time he got the
statue of him's like, yeah, he was always complaining about
it and never like So it's kind of like one
of those things, like.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
We do want to honor Goldberg.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
Goldberg's a huge part of nineties wrestling, like he was
this it was a really big chapter of wrestling, but
it seems forced and it seems strange, and we're like,
why Gunther and why now?
Speaker 1 (29:15):
So I'm wondering.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
I'm just I guess I'm hoping it'll be nice for
Goldberg in Atlanta, but I'm wondering if people like me
are just gonna be like what are they doing? Like
why are we doing this? So I'm just curious how
the fans will will react.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Yeah, I mean, I think it's a Saturday Night's main event,
so it's not as important as a premium live event,
right some Yeah, so they're not depending on a number
from Goldberg, so I think it's his hometown and they
were able to book it and they're like, Yo, this
is a nice thing to do. Let's do this and
that's cool man, that's cool. Good. All right, that's it
(29:52):
for this week's episode. Y'all hit us up with your predictions.
Let us know if you made money on your friends,
let us know if you lost money. If you lose,
we're super sorry. And if you won, we freaking told
you so. Tune in tomorrow for Thursday Unsanctioned. Jeff, tell
the people where you're gonna be at this coming week week.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
Just like all your favorite wrestlers, I will be in Texas.
I have five, maybe maybe six sold out shows at
the Comedy Mothership in Austin, Texas where Joe Rogan is
or Joe Rogan's Club. Since those are all sold out,
you can see me next week in Vegas at Wise. Guys,
if you guys are gonna be in the Vegas area,
(30:31):
it's gonna be great.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Shout out to Elenar Olenar. We love you. See you
next week. Pe
